Our most widely used method was a Card Sort (a bit like @TalkingMats). We provided images + brief descriptions of school subjects / experiences and pupils ranked these then talked about why they made their choices. This created structure and clear boundaries to discussion. 7/10

Finally, some pupils chose a Statement Sort activity alongside interviews. This again provided structure and opened up discussion about pros / cons of different aspects of school transition. We provide a full list of statements at the end of the study. 8/10

The paper is supplemented by case studies illustrating how we built rapport, offered choice and flexibility, and responded to individual needs and preferences. A huge thank you again to all the young people involved for sharing your valuable thoughts and experiences! 9/10

Our paper http://t.ly/Vi1NZ shows the potential that creative research methods used w/ semi-structured interviews can have for researching with autistic neurodivergent young ppl! Look out for 3 participatory animations made w/ young ppl about school coming soon! 🎬 End
